Legal framework
Iguality is committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection and privacy. As part of our dedication to safeguarding your personal information, we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a comprehensive framework established by the European Union to ensure the protection of individual rights and the secure handling of personal data.
Under the GDPR, we have implemented robust data protection measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information. These measures include:
- Lawful Basis: We ensure that all data processing activities carried out by Iguality are supported by a valid lawful basis as defined by the GDPR. This ensures that we handle personal data only when there is a legal and legitimate reason to do so.
- Data Minimization: We follow the principle of data minimization, collecting and processing only the personal data that is necessary and relevant for the specified purposes. This approach helps us reduce the risk of unauthorized access to excessive personal information.
- Consent and Transparency: We obtain your informed consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data. We provide clear and accessible information about our data processing practices through our privacy policy, ensuring transparency regarding the types of data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have as a data subject.
- Security Safeguards: We have implemented stringent technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, regular security assessments, and staff training on data protection best practices.
- Data Subject Rights: We respect and uphold your rights as a data subject under the GDPR. These rights include the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, data portability, and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making.
- Data Transfers: If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the use of Privacy Shield-certified third parties, to protect your data during the transfer.
By adhering to the GDPR framework, Iguality strives to provide you with a high level of data protection, privacy, and control over your personal information. We continuously review and update our data protection measures to align with evolving legal requirements and best practices, ensuring that your privacy rights are respected and your data remains secure.
